Our school and nursery aims are based on our motto, “Believe to Achieve!”.

Our vision is of a welcoming, caring, happy and stimulating place where everyone is encouraged to develop their potential. Our school values are friendship, respect, aspiration, community and kindness and these values are embedded in our
practice.

At Todholm, all staff aim to work together with parents to provide the best opportunities for every child in our care. We aim to:

• provide for each child a broad, balanced curriculum which takes account of national and local guidance, reflects current Curriculum for Excellence recommendations and provides appropriate opportunities for pupil choices, as well as promoting independence in learning.
• enable all pupils to achieve their potential by continuing to develop strategies which improve and maintain attainment.
• provide high quality teaching which employs an appropriate variety of approaches and takes account of the previous knowledge of the child, involves parents and motivates children.
• provide an atmosphere of warmth where children can learn to care for themselves and others and develop respect for the views and beliefs of others.
• create a sense of identity and pride in our school by fostering partnerships with all who work in and use the school community. These partnerships should be actively involved to create an inclusive community which set high expectations of all community members and create good role models for our future citizens.
• create a happy, stimulating and safe environment with good use of well trained staff and well organised resources.
• manage the school effectively through policies, strategies and systems for planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluating.

These aims are delivered by a well-organised learning and teaching experience and focussed regular evaluation of practice.
